Agile was intended to address the problem of waterfall software development: delivering the wrong thing too late.
When "Agile" teams only want to code something once – no acceptance that usability testing might reveal a failing that necessitates another iteration – it's just more waterfall development with Agile-flavoured rituals and ceremonies.
I got out with my camera for the first time in a while yesterday, so fresh material for #WaterfallWednesday. This is one of three dams on site made with dry-fitted field stones, and it's been holding the water back for well over 100 years. New England soil is adept at growing rocks, and one of the things we're famous for is the rock walls of similar construction that run for miles through the woods, all that remains of farms long lost to memory.
I think it goes without saying that anyone who visits Toronto and enjoys natural wonders should visit #NiagaraFalls it was definitely the highlight of my trip to #Toronto back in 2022. I desperately wanted to capture something that wasn't the 'standard' shot though. This is what I came away with, and I'm quite pleased with it. Really, you wouldn't necessarily know it's location without the title.
At this location in North Carolina, the mountains drop off abruptly into the Piedmont hills: the Appalachian Escarpment. Weather patterns create unusually large amounts of rain. Huge granite rock faces generate waterfalls in large numbers. You can see five to ten in a single day.
For #WaterfallWednesday, it's the 15ft/4.5m Stairs Falls on the Falling Waters Trail in Franconia Notch State Park, New Hampshire, USA. This image is a #SpectreShot shot on iPhone with Spectre by @halide - MUCH lighter than the usual DSLR + tripod kit I usually take hiking.
An unknown waterfall somewhere along Norway's Nordfjord last year. You can get a sense of its size from the house in the photo. It was bitterly cold as we cruised through this part of the fjords, but you never let a little thing like the temperature stop you from being awestruck by what nature offers up.
The Old Power Plant near the edge of Niagara Falls in the Autumn. Standing here, this close to the edge of the great Niagara Falls at the point of no return. The depths of which the water falls......it's hard to imagine wanting to go over to see how it would go.....just crazy. The Fall colors on the river's edge were beautiful.
